From trunking to multi-drop, we find permanent drivers for Kilmarnock operations and put forward the ones who want the job for the long term.
A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.
Permanent vacancies across Scotland come from retail and grocery distribution, food, drink and whisky supply chains, energy logistics and national 3PLs. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.
We talk to drivers about the rota, the vehicles, the start time and the depot before we mention your vacancy, so the shortlist is made of people who want that job.
Drivers living near the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral, Bellshill and Newhouse have plenty of choice. We help your vacancy stand out.
Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.
We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.
Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.
You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.
Indicative permanent salaries in Kilmarnock run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.
Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.
We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.
We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.
Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.
We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.
